On April 11, 2017, the University of Waterloo officially launched their Celebration 2017 Legacy Project at the Bombshelter Pub. Staff, students and professors were invited to kick-off the celebrations and encouraged to leave their legacy by participating in the design competition.
Along with the other celebratory events to mark both the University’s 60th anniversary and Canada’s 150th birthday, Waterloo unveiled a legacy project for student teams to re-design a creative student space in the Arts Quad — and win $10,000 cash if their final design is chosen.
To kick-off the event, Sandra Banks, Vice-President of University Relations, introduced the three-stage design competition and co-chairs of Celebration 2017, Peggy Jarvie and Jeff Casello, introduced projected site for the new student space.
Students across all disciplines came together as teams and started on the early stages of the competition — brainstorming ideas for a new student space.
